On August 18th I was in a car accident that should have taken my life. I fell asleep at the wheel after working multiple consecutive doubles one night on my way home when my car hit the edge of a bridge and flipped end over end and landed on the opposite wall of the bridge. The police and volunteer firefighters told me they were expecting to find a lifeless body. The only part of the car that wasn't crushed was the driver's side. After the shock of the wreck wore off I realized that I had been blessed by God's hands protecting me every second of the accident.
Two days ago my fiance was also in what should have been a tragic accident. He was on his way home from work when a semi flipped onto the top of his car. When the roof caved in it shoved him into the floorboard of his car and he was trapped. When paramedics and police arrived they thought that they would find a mangled body in the pancaked car. The used the Jaws of Life to cut the car open to find him alive and with just a few cuts on his had. He told me afterwards that when the accident happened he had been in the middle of a prayer for a friends sick child, and I believe that had a part in his safety. Once again God had protected him from death and too gave him a second chance at life.
After going through all of this my faith in the Lord has strengthened and I will be forever grateful for the things God has helped my family get through. I know that things happened for a reason and we were saved to continue taking care of our kids and each other and I will never take the small things in life for granted.
